DR.GOODLUCK EBELE JONATHAN: I WILL STILL SUPPORT YOU, BUT YOU CANNOT TRUST NYESOM WIKE.

Dear President Goodluck Ebele Jonathan,
Compliments of the season to you and yours. Sir, I am one of your strong supporters and staunch admirer of long standing. Above all, I am a qualified Citizen of the Federal Republic of Nigeria and you are my President. Please Sir, find this informal narrative handy and treat it with love and compassion. First off, I am not one of your hirelings yet, I am not pastor Reno Omokri who ordinarily will do better in his “Mind of Christ Ministry aka Shunpiking” than dissipating his time doing nothing for you with all his hourly jumbo salaries he feeds fat on. A man who we hear is known all over the world for using Social media to conduct surveys that benefits a system et al, yet he has not been able to do anything to boost your Government with the social media expertise.

Rather, the opposition is having a field day even at his own kindergarten game(s). Likewise, I am not Dr. Doyin Okukpe neither am I your 'reactionary' Dr. Reuben Abati who's only waiting to respond to tantrums and arsenals thrown at you than acting before they take you to the cleaners. I am just an ordinary 'Citizen' who's rendering what the lawyers call “probono services” in my little way even without receiving a dime or pat on the back. Hehehehe. Anyways, I am happy doing what I am doing, “Buttu” (but) …??? **smiles**. Therefore, you are not obligated (either Constitutionally or morally) to recognise what some of us do, after all, “you no send us work na”, we just love you that's why. I have said it before and I'll say it again and now; Reno Omikri, Dr.Reuben Abati and Dr.Doyin Okukpe are moles in your Government. They are either always reactionary and/or Reno Omokri will always play into the hands of the opposition even with his ill thought-out tactless surveys, he often makes a mess of you on the other hand and in the end. Please, replace them with immediate alacrity or reshuffle their positions, they are not helping you in any shape or form, relief them. For example: Abati just lost his well-known expertise for writing nicely worded “biased” articles that wows people since he got into your Government, please who are they working for? Find out.

Your Excellency Sir, I am a Rivers man and I have my own expectations from you, first, as my President and as an IJAW man too. Just a quick one sir, my unflinching support for you is not because you are an Ijaw man. I am not supporting you because you are a Niger Deltan like myself, I am supporting you because you are the devil I know that is a billion times better than the devil I do not know. Having properly diagnosed all the other Presidential Candidates, you not only stand tall, you are the only “Tested, Tried and can be Trusted” Candidate, albeit, you are not perfect. They said you are “clueless” and they're 'clueful', but your cluelessness has been beneficial to Nigeria in less than four years of your stretch than the Obasanjo's wasted eight years of cluefulness. You are clueless, yet your cluelessness is developing the Country all-round.

You have reformed our rail lines, the Almajiris are now pupils and Students (what the so-called corruption-free BUHARI could not do), there is proper “Freedom of Speech” (which can never be guaranteed in a Buhari's government), your Government is transparent, you have just signed the National Health Bill, you have successfully privatised the dead Power sector (which Obasanjo and Buhari made mind boggling coca-farm from because of their corruption), you have revamped the Agricultural sector, you have wowed us with numerous kilometres of road construction across the Country, your reforms in the aviation sector is highly commendable, your Education reforms are superb. Indeed you are the man to watch in 2015 and “Inshi Allahu” (as the Muslims say), we will re-elect you again as our President 2015. Funnily, a man who does not believe in the existence of GOD and HIS Word called you “Nebuchadnezzar”, gosh!, what does such a man know about the Bible (GOD's inspired Word)? This is indeed a shameless show of paradox and destructive amnesia, I prefer a clueless man like you than an overrated Prefessor whose “Mumu-button” is being controlled by “drama kings” in the opposition. Sir, if what I have seen in you is a show of cluelessness as they say, then I prefer clueless people like you to lead Nigeria in 2015 again. I will support your cluelessness by canvassing and voting for you in 2015, plus, I will keep supporting you afterwards.

However, as a Kalabari Rivers-Ijaw man, I'd expected a Kalabari man or at worse, another Rivers-Ijaw man to have hoisted the PDP's Gubernatorial flag in Rivers State other than Chief Nyesom Wike. Yes, you have been quoted in many occasions for saying: everyone should go to the polls, but sir, you are the leader of the party (PDP). At least, you still have the right to choose or at worse, recommend who takes the flag. But unknown to me I have been dreaming, unknown to me you also believed the unfortunate gossip that NYESOM WIKE should be compensated with the PDP's ticket, well, it's all good. Disappointments happen, no hard feelings. Much as I wouldn't want to go into last Monday's show of shame in Rivers State, I acknowledge and commend you for not interfering with the election results as you promised. This is to further confirm that you have utmost respect for constituted authorities and the rule of law and your word is indeed your bond. Sir, your attitude since last Monday rejuvenated the love and respect I have for you. Though I am not happy (likewise many other Rivers IJAWS and Ogonis), but I want to categorically aver that I shall continue to support you in 2015 and beyond. Although the Rivers IJAWS in the PDP were disgraced, insulted, embarrassed and set aback last Monday by Nyesom Wike and his co-travellers, but that wouldn't make me rethink my earlier stance of being with you through thick and thin. His Excellency, I and my family shall still support your re-election, there is no going back on that. You have my unflinching support no matter what.

THE NYESOM WIKE's SO-CALLED “GRASSROOT” POLITICS. DECEITFUL AND WILL BE

A REGRET, SOON.
Anything built on the foundation of lies, desperation, manipulation and concoction will not stand the test of time. Notwithstanding, It is not superfluous to say Chief(Barr.).Nyesom Wike is familiar with the Rivers pattern of 'desperate' politics of self aggrandisement. But, it would be disposable if you say he is a master in the overall game of politics, this is not true. Although, “I am in-charge and in-touch with all the stakeholders of the party in all the 23LGAs of the State” has been the mantra he sells to you and wife. But the truth is, the average failed Rivers politician is always 'loyal' when the chips are down for him, especially when he is out of political circulation and living in penury. If you like, say when he is hungry having misused his first oppportunity in Government. Once these set of people are out of Government, they can take anything from anyone, be it shit (faeces or urine), they'll gladly swallow just to survive and be in power again. A typical example is; our own Sir.Dr.Peter Otunaya Odili, the one time best Governor on earth and knight of 'saint' Limpopo. I am still cringing at the sub-zero level Odili has relegated himself to in Rivers politics in less than a decade of his “mighty” reign. Indeed I am discontented at this. But it shows the bad emperor he was, like the current emperor, his successor. The evil that men do lives with them.

Again, if you critically take a proper review of those around Chief Nyesom Wike you'll find they're mostly a chunk of failed Rivers politicians that did nothing and did-not/cannot add value to the average Rivers man due to their uncontrollable greed and quest for self aggrandisement. They're basically a pool of conceited and roaming opportunists that are looking for ways to survive and enrich their stomach infrastructure irrespective of what it takes at present, they have all thrown decency, truth, sincerity and class in the bin for a plate porridge from Chief Nyesom Wike. Well, it's all good. So, if you say Chief Nyesom Wike is in the know if their “Mumu buttons” and he presses their Mumu-buttons very well, I will say a loud “Yes”. And yes, Nyesom Wike knows the Mumu-buttons of the failed Rivers politicians and he takes undue advantage at it just to curry favour from you and the First Lady by continuously bragging that he is 'in-charge' of Rivers State. This is the craziest deceit of the century. Sir, he is not in-charge of Rivers State to be honest. He only throws money around and abuse the use of power, who doesn't need or want money if given? Painfully, Gov.CRA is winning the War if you ask me. Because, the PDP have covertly played into his hands too by fronting his political Son, Nyesom Wike. Today, who are the flag bearers of the major political parties in the State, they are all his boys. Wike and Dakuku Peterside are all Gov.CRA's boys, so who's losing the war and who's winning? Find out. Also, Wike lacks the capacity to wield sane influence in Rivers State and on Rivers people, he is full of witch hunt, vitriols, gangsterism and personal vendetta etc. Plus, he is tactless and often uni-directional in all his decisions, to him, to lead is always by the use of force like Buhari. He cannot win Rivers State on a “One man-One vote” election if the PDP will not use State powers to rig for him. If you're doubting this, just allow the 2015 Rivers Governorship election to be free from using the Police and Army in favour of Wike and his boys, he will be defeated. Wike cannot win Rivers State, even his friends will vote against him.

Then again, It worries me how this same Chief Nyesom Wike goes about his so-called, overflogged GRASSROOT politics. Grassroot my foot. Bizarrely, having known the “out-of-Government” greedy men in an area, he (Nyesom Wike) tramples on them hinging his strength on their weak point, that is, their desperation to be in power at all cost. I had earlier stated that Chief Nyesom Wike knows the “Mumu buttons” of the failed Rivers politicians and he presses them very well. So, he makes all sorts of promises and gives them some change to clean up their wardrobe. These set of people (who ordinarily have lost touch with their people) will now parade as party leaders in their various areas etc. Now, because they were once in Government, it is easier to believe them at the National level that they are leaders in their own right and in the areas they come from. The big question is, who is a leader? And what makes a leader? But the reality is, they are no where in their local regions or areas, no one listens to them anymore because they have virtually betrayed everyone (including their families) and they will betray you too in 2015. Trust me, they cannot even win their wards. These are the sort of people Chief Nyesom Wike is bragging to have in all the 23 LGAs of Rivers State as Rivers political leaders, this would be disastrous and catastrophic for the party if unabated Asap. Please find out, how many of the known faces that follows Nyesom Wike today can ordinarily tell sane and independent Rivers Youths to come out on Election Day without paying them and they'll obey them without batting an eyelid? Find out. I am saying it again, Nyesom Wike and his band of failed men alone cannot add any value to you in Rivers State, please sir, do not rely on Wike in Rivers State. Call your people (not only the Rivers IJAWS, the Ogonis and all Rivers people) and reassure them. Last Monday has caused a lot of crack and dismemberment in the Rivers PDP, some are of the opinion you have deliberately ignored and betrayed the IJAWS (your own people). Sir, make moves to douse this misdirected hooplas amongst your Kiths and kins. Call all the other aspirants and stakeholders together and have a word with them before it's too late. My one penny senseless sense.

ON RIVERS GOVERNORSHIP: “BRICK HOUSE 2015″.
A lot of analysis have been made on several occasions as to which region or area of the State should the next Governor come from. Again as a Kalabari man I have wished for my people to produce the next Governor of the State, but the two major political parties have truncated that wish for now and I'm fine with it, it's all good. Also, Rivers State (as complex as it is), is divided into Riverine and Upland. But sir, it will interest you to know that since 1999 to date, the Upland has been steering the wheel. From Dr. Odili to Sir.Celestine Omehia and now to Rt.Hon. Chibuike Rotimi Amaechi. From the names, two Ikwerre Sons (Omehia and Amaechi) have been Governors whilst the three of them are all from the Upland of Rivers State, therefore, it would be downright unprincipled and morally unjustifiable to elect another IKWERRE man again (an UPLANDER) as Governor of Rivers State in 2015. Trust me, WIKE's supposed show of bravery is only meretricious, in reality, he is just one big smart mole.

Also, I have heard some “beer parlour” sickening debates justifying Wike's Candidature by questioning that; “where were the Rivers IJAWS when Amaechi was insulting Mr.President” and that only Nyesom Wike fought for you etc. This is stinking balderdash if you ask me, it offends the sensibilities of many (including me) and the crassest thing to say by anyone. Now, let me ask this too: “where were your media men, your hirelings, your minions and goons when people like me and other unsung IJAWS (Young men and Women like me) were defending you and attacking Amaechi and his boys on your behalf? Were we paid to do so? But, wasn't Nyesom Wike empowered (financially and with the police, Army and the entire military to do so), yet he failed and couldn't fight Amaechi? Wasn't Evans Bipi aka “Ayinkpere-re” empowered financially etc, yet he failed because he lacked tact and depth? So who's fooling who with that sick line as the reason for making Nyesom Wike the Guber Candidate for the PDP in Rivers State? Sir, if this is a compensation to Nyesom Wike for a job well done, then what is our compensation (me and others who took Amaechi and the opposition to the cleaners just to save your name, position and give your Government a breath of fresh air in our little way)? What is our gross for sticking our heads, our necks on your behalf even at our own peril? So, for our sake, can you not consider an Ijaw man to lead the Brick House in 2015? We do not mind the political party, we need an Ijaw man as the next Governor of Rivers State. I have to be sincerely sincere and open here. I hate the last Monday's madness in Rivers State, how can we allow three Ikwerres to be Governor of Rivers State consecutively? Abi na their family stool? This is shameful and unheard of. Something needs to be done, sir. Yes, something should be done. Please, rejig, retool, re-strategise and rethink, there is always a way out of every quagmire. Please, do the needful.

Haba!, Wike no hold anyone for “blokus” na, abi I lie?

… To be continued.
